What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle using Heron's formula?
What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle using Heron's formula?
- A = s (s - a) (s - b) (s - c) (correct)
- A = (s + a) (s + b) (s + c)
- A = s^2 - a^2 - b^2 - c^2
- A = 1/2 * a * b * sin(C)
What is the semiperimeter of a triangle in Heron's formula?
What is the semiperimeter of a triangle in Heron's formula?
- s = a + b + c
- s = 1/2 * (a + b + c) (correct)
- s = a * b * c
- s = sqrt(a * b * c)
